Re: Timeline of relationship with my wife, name: TUYET TRINH THI TRAN

DOB: ** December 19**

Case #: HCM2009******

I, LY C. NGUYEN, DOB: ** December 19**, SNN: xxx-xx-xxxx, a citizen of the United Sates of America, am the husband of TUYET TRINH THI TRAN. The following is a sworn affidavit documenting the timeline of our relationship since 2 August 2008 to present.

Brief description of our relationship:

We were introduced to each other by Mrs. Loan and Mr. Phuc. My wife and Mrs. Loan were close friends from their childhood. Mrs. Loan, Mr. Phuc and I have been very close friends over years. I have been seeing Phuc and his wife (Loan) at their house for many times. I knew Trinh by her video and photos. I asked Loan and Phuc for their opinion about Trinh, both of them strongly recommended me to be friends with Trinh. Mrs. Loan often says that I have the same ways of thinking and hard work as Trinh. For that reason, I asked Mrs. Loan for Trinh’s phone number. Mrs. Loan says that she will get back with me on that. Couple days later Mrs. Loan gave me Trinh’s phone number, and Mrs. Loan told me that she had mentioned about me to Trinh already.

 20 July 2008: Phuc and Loan invited me to their house at 2802 SE 82nd Ave. Apt#6, Portland, Oregon 97266 for a weekend meal with their family. During the dinner, Phuc and Loan played a video film about a wedding party of their relative in Vietnam, in which there was a photo of my wife, Trinh. Talking about the girl whose name is Trinh, Loan also showed me some other photos of Loan in her family album. I asked Loan if Trinh was still single and whether I could make friends with her. Loan told me that she would let me know later after she called to ask Trinh’s opinion and then she would give me her phone number.

 26 July 2008: I invited Phuc and Loan to eat out at a Chinese restaurant, Jin Wah Restaurant at 8001 SE Powell Blvd. Suite# P. Portland, Oregon 97206. During the meal, I asked about their health and their business. Loan told me that she had contacted with Trinh and she agreed to give me her phone number so that we can get in touch and make friends with each other. I filed her phone number.

 02 August 2008: The first time I called 84908864129 to Trinh at 10:44 pm, that was on Sunday morning in Vietnam. She was not surprised as Loan, her close friend had told her about me already. We started the conversation and introduced each other, exchanged information about our job and our family. We were both very happy as we had another new friend. During this first call, due to the international call, it was interrupted and I had to call back 3 times. We spend 42 minutes over the phone.

 03 August 2008: The second time I called Trinh was at 03:57 am, that was the time I was on my way to work from my home. That was the time Trinh was just been back from the Church. We talked for about 23 minutes then I arrived at my company. I told her I would call back at another time as I had to work then. I wished her a good night and stopped the call and started my working day.

 04 August 2008: I had 2 phone called to her. The first one was at 03:53 am. It lasted for about 27 minutes and then I started work. The second one was on the same date at 03:10 pm, and we had 20 minutes talking to each other. Trinh said that she would be very busy next week as she had to work overtime at her company. She promised to continue the chat next week.

 12 + 14 August 2008: I called her back but she said she was still very busy so we could not talk much. She said she would call me when she finished her job.

 15 August 2008: at 04 am, that was 06 pm in Vietnam, Trinh called me and then she hanged up so that I would call her back after that. I called her at 04:02 am. She told me about what she did during the past week. We talked to each other about 14 minutes and then we stopped as her family got prepared for the dinner.

 16 August 2008 up to the end of August: We often contacted each other via phone, almost every day. We often talked about the subject of family. We exchanged information about life, our jobs.

 01 September 2008: It was one month since we knew each other. I kept contact with her by phone. It was only one month but I found that I had fallen in love with her. I got to know that Trinh was born into a big family. Her family was not rich in terms of materials, but it was a truly happy family. Trinh is the oldest sister, so she knows how to take care of her little brothers and sisters. She studied and worked to support her family with her parents. That made me admire her and loved her more. I called her four times during the day with the total minutes up to 63.

 07 September 2008: I called and told her that the following week I was very busy and had on time to contact her, not to wait for my call. When I finished my work, I would call her.

 12 September 2008: I called her just to let her know that I was home after one week I was far away for forklift drill. I told her I would call her the next day.

 13 September 2008: I called Trinh and she asked me about my forklift drill. We had about 20 minutes together.

 14 September 2008 to 20 September 2008: During this time we talked to each other almost every day. I was very happy hearing her voice. When I was busy not calling her I felt something lost. I asked her if she was happy when getting my phone call. Trinh was happy when she had a boyfriend who took care and concerned about her life and her thought.

 21 September 2008: I called her and started the conversation. I asked her if she had used internet. I said that she used internet at work just for company business. She had no internet at home. She said she would check if the network was available at her locality. She then gave me her two nick names for chatting via skype video.

 30 September 2008: I called her. She told me that she had connected with internet already. I asked her if we could be on internet then. She turned on the computer and we talked and saw each other in person the first time. Though it was the first time but her face looked familiar to me for a long time. My first impression about her was that she was a friendly and honest girl. This made me love her more and more.

 03 October 2008: I called her again. We got more and more familiar with each other. I told her that I missed her a lot and I could not sleep when I saw her via video chat the previous time. Her face always wandered in my mind to find something to connect with.

 04 October 2008: I called her again. We talked to each other for a long time. I asked her about her ideal husband. She told me that she liked the kind of man who belongs to family, humorous, caring and especially child loving. A man that can she can confide in to build up a happy family. After almost half an hour hearing her telling me about her ideal husband, she asked me the same question about my ideal wife. I told her that what I need in a wife is not her riches or honors but a woman with a heart filled with love for her husband and their kids. I totally agreed with her as we all loved children. We are both northerners of Vietnam left for Christ to the South in 1954. We had many things in common especially family affairs. I found that Trinh is very skilled at cooking, especially foods of northerners. Our love were getting developed more and more. We spend 82 minutes over the phone.

 05 October 2008 to 10 October 2008: We had phone calls almost every day. I asked her if she missed me. She stopped for a while and told me that she had the same feeling with me waiting for my call. Time flies and our love got developed more and more.

 11 October 2008 to 18 October 2008: We kept contact very often. At this time we were not hesitant any more. We shared everything of life. We had no distance any more. When there was happiness or sadness, we often shared to each other. I found that I cannot lack the other better half, that is Trinh. After work, I was always thinking of Trinh and missing her. I called her to confide my feelings and listened to her nice voice.

 19 October 2008: I called back to Trinh. She told me that the next day she would be in Vung Tau for a job interview. We talked for about 19 minutes then I arrived at work. I told her I would call again the next day to talk more.

 20 October 2008: I made two phone calls. The first call was at 4 am. She told me she wanted to have another well paid job so she decided to go to Vung Tau for the interview. In fact at that time I loved Trinh very much and I did not want her to go very far working hard to earn a living. I told her that if she had difficulty I could be of help to her but she refused. This call we had 23 minutes together. The second call was at 5:7 pm. We had only 3 minutes then her phone battery faded. She gave me her friend’s phone number in Vung Tau and told me that I can call that number in case I cannot reach the cell phone.

 21 October 2008: I called Trinh but I could not get connected. I waited until evening to make sure that she was there and I called her friend’s house. I started saying I love you and proposed to her over the phone. Because I was worried about her life. I felt sorry for her when she had to work her way through for a living. I wanted to take care of her every day. I wanted the rest of my life having Trinh beside me. I wanted Trinh to be my wife and the mother of my children. I love her and cannot live without her. She was surprised at my proposal, she paused for a few minutes and said that she loved me also and wanted to be besides me for the rest of her life as she understood my case that I have lived alone, without any brothers or sisters, or relatives besides and I take care of everything on my own. Trinh wanted to be beside me and shared part of my life. Before she hanged up the phone, she told that she agreed with my proposal and reminded me to take care of myself as I was already her better half.

 22 October 2008 to 26 October 2008: after proposal we kept contact and talked over the phone. She asked me to manage time to call her parents to ask for their news and get a permit for our relationship.

It's obvious you got the call duration from your phone bill so if I were you I'd knock out the "about" so many minutes. Just say for 13 minutes or whatever length the call was.

Hint! Have someone edit it all and make the English perfect!

they kept my phone bill and they will see it in the phone bill.

[Dai. 7]

Hey man, It's not wise to put close friends addresses and your wife's phone number with her full name on a public forums like this...

As for you time line... It's too much information. The CO probably saw too much and didn't want to read anymore. I read like a quarter of it and didn't want to read anymore. Did you go to Dich Vu Place like I recommended to you?

Edited August 23, 2009 by Dai_Tx

[NQT1976 1]

your timeline really hurt you too much lytrinh.

1. you only know trinh by phone call, you never seen her but already love her, and tell your parents talk to her parents. ( if you used video call this may help)

2. the first time you come to see her then marriage.

3. this is your big trouble: after marriage your honey moon only 3 days then you come back to US, rise question about business trip more than a love trip. you should stay with her for a month

4. by vietnam culture you should lam dam cuoi truoc khi di dang ky ket hon.

5. list too much of call detail even the time in hour and minutes(nobody can remember the call time), I hate to read all these, I guess the CO hate too

others are good, smooth english

I would cut out remarks such as "I called her just to let her know that I was home after one week I was far away for forklift drill. I told her I would call her the next day." and "I called her back but she said she was still very busy so we could not talk much. She said she would call me when she finished her job."

It would make one think, geez, why didn't he have a cell phone to call her that week on his off-hours if they loved each other so much? And yes, she may have been busy and couldn't talk much (second remark), but that doesn't reflect positively. Just say you called her...just my two cents. I would assume you got a blue slip because you proposed to her before meeting her...

I agree with the above poster-take personal information out about other people here.

[bryonm4 0]

I have a couple things First you should get the visa CR1 are usualy succesfull the only reason I think they put it in review and wanted timeline is that you were quick to marry. I proposed 8 months after meeting my wife and they denied my K1 stating that I proposed to soon.

I don't want to make you worried but it might draw a red flag. If I was reading it the first thing I would think is why is there so much detail? They might think it was a planned or arranged marriage so great detail was taken in documenting the relationship from the beggining in hopes of getting a visa. Also the more detail you give them the more they will look to find something contradictory to what was said at the interview.

I hope you get your visa because I have read your posts many times and I know you are a legit couple I will pray for you.

I do not agree with you. I think him putting thing like that in are good things. If a man really cares for a woma he would do such things or as he said because he told her he would call. To much information is never a bad thing. It gives the Co a chance to ask more questions to the fiancee and see if she agrees with his timeline. I like his timeline and I think what he put in was good. A Co might not want to read the entire thing, but it is there if he wants to. They rarely look at half of the evidince a person brings let alone a quarter of it. That does not mean we should send our fiancee in with 2 photos 2 letters and so on. Think about it give them the most possible information then that allows THEM to decide what to look at and what not to look at. Jerome

Listen, if I was there I would have went to see if I could talk to the co. There is no doubt in my mind that I would have went to try and talk if I knew I was going to get a second blue. Binh said that her friends cousin, yeah I know a friends friend said... that they asked him questions about his fiancee and if you were to answer them wrong it could cause a denial. If you do decide to go there I would say be calm and know things about your fiancee. I would not question their second blue slip, and the first and about the only thing I wowaitinguld ask them is this.

I just wantefiancéefiancéed to see you to make sure that if there was anything I could say or show you that would help make our case I am willing to do.

I would not be rude because he probably will not see you, or if he does he might just say he needs more time to review it. then just be polite. I think that if you try to see him they will not allow it, but.... that they will know you were there to see him. I feel that if a person is quiet and just simply accepts the outcome that this shows they are not very interested, but if a person tries to talk and shows them that they can get vocal for things that do not go their way they might take a second look at your case and maybe a more favorable decision. I know if they say no that there is nothing we can really do to them personally, but if they say "NO" time and again and people keep arguing with their senators and with the us consulate and they do have proof of a strong relationship as the other people feel it might make the Co's job come under review. It is like any job if no one complains and no one stands up for what they say or feel is right the people over him think he is doing his job remarkably well. If a few people complain then that is just to be accepted, there were un happy customers, but if hundreds of people complain then they think their worker is not doing such a good job. This goes back to my topic of us all standing together. Good luck man. we truly wish you the best Jerome

I do not agree with you. I think him putting thing like that in are good things. If a man really cares for a woma he would do such things or as he said because he told her he would call. To much information is never a bad thing. It gives the Co a chance to ask more questions to the fiancee and see if she agrees with his timeline. I like his timeline and I think what he put in was good. A Co might not want to read the entire thing, but it is there if he wants to. They rarely look at half of the evidince a person brings let alone a quarter of it. That does not mean we should send our fiancee in with 2 photos 2 letters and so on. Think about it give them the most possible information then that allows THEM to decide what to look at and what not to look at. Jerome

Did your wife get a pink slip? If so congrats.

Brief description of our relationship:

We were introduced to each other by Mrs. Loan and Mr. Phuc. My wife and Mrs. Loan were close friends from their childhood. Mrs. Loan, Mr. Phuc and I have been very close friends over years. I have been seeing Phuc and his wife (Loan) at their house for many times. I knew Trinh by her video and photos. I asked Loan and Phuc for their opinion about Trinh, both of them strongly recommended me to be friends with Trinh. Mrs. Loan often says that I have the same ways of thinking and hard work as Trinh. For that reason, I asked Mrs. Loan for Trinh’s phone number. Mrs. Loan says that she will get back with me on that. Couple days later Mrs. Loan gave me Trinh’s phone number, and Mrs. Loan told me that she had mentioned about me to Trinh already.

Talking about the girl whose name is Trinh, Loan also showed me some other photos of Loan in her family album. I asked Loan if Trinh was still single and whether I could make friends with her. Loan told me that she would let me know later after she called to ask Trinh’s opinion and then she would give me her phone number.

This call we had 23 minutes together. The second call was at 5:7 pm. We had only 3 minutes then her phone battery faded.

I wanted to take care of her every day. I wanted the rest of my life having Trinh beside me. I wanted Trinh to be my wife and the mother of my children. I love her and cannot live without her. She was surprised at my proposal, she paused for a few minutes and said that she loved me also and wanted to be besides me for the rest of her life as she understood my case that I have lived alone, without any brothers or sisters, or relatives besides and I take care of everything on my own. Trinh wanted to be beside me and shared part of my life.

Hi Ly Trinh,

Wow, it is rather long. The CO will never go through all these pages. You should make it shorter

[Hiep & Thao 0]

You should go see the CO and present extra evidence (whatever you can think of). It is worth it. If your case got sent back to the US it's going to take years
